Re: Peter and Valentine
The thing that irked me about Peter and Valentine in EG wasn't necessarily their characters themselves; it was their parents, especially after reading their exploits in Shadow . The idea that John Paul and Theresa knew all about what Peter and Val were doing and yet they did nothing... that didn't s...

Re: OK, help me out here...
Most of my analysis of Jane's origin comes from the chapter on Jane in SftD, but there's a whole bit in Xenocide about it that I'm fuzzy on the details of (I need to re-download it from Audible and listen to it again, I guess.) Your theory about Jane existing as a tool of the Buggers during the thir...

I think the key phrase is on page 274 of EG: Bean, who couldn't control large groups of ships effectively but could use a few like a scalpel. Bean could never really command huge armies the way Ender could. Yes, Bean can think ten moves ahead of everyone else, and yes, Bean can anticipate and react ...

I think it will happen eventually, if only because there will be some global crisis or initiative that will require us to band together, much like the bugger invasion. I just don't see it happening for the next several hundred years, unless some sort of visionary person emerges to make it happen soo...

OK, help me out here...
I only discovered EG last summer, but since then I've read both quartets like three times ( Xenocide in audio) and I'm working through them a fourth time. Awesome stuff; they single-handedly got me into reading Sci-Fi. I haven't read AWoG yet... I couldn't bring myself to pay $12.95 for a 100+ page ...
